Silent Concentration Retreat
January 23, 2021 @ 10:30 am - 5:30 pm
The center will host a retreat on Zoom for meditators who wish to deepen their practice of concentration in four sessions. Silence will be observed during retreat.
Each session will begin with the preparatory practices of prayers, up to visualizing receiving blessings from Buddha Shakyamuni and all the Enlightened Beings.
The remainder of the session will be in silence with no concluding prayers. Timed chimes will alert participants to each session’s end.
GUIDELINES
- Please come to your meditation space prepared with your meditation object. When training in developing concentration we practice meditating on the same object in all sessions. Examples of meditation objects: Equanimity, Death and Impermanence, Renunciation, Compassion, Taking, Giving, Emptiness of the Body, the form of Buddha Shakyamuni
- Please arrive early so you can start prayers on time.
- Once the session starts, please be prepared not to leave your cushion or chair. This determination will support your practice.
